Colonial hoe head?

[Ninjafossils]

Found this at my colonial site. Buried under a ton of rocks. Is it colonial? And is the reason it was buried on rocks because when they would work the field, they'd push rocks with there plows.

I just posted in Today's Finds a possible late 18th C. or early 19th C. hoe head that I dug on an old plantation site.. Here it is... May be similar? I don't think this hoe i have dates to the colonial period but more into the early 1800s like 1820s-30s! From all the rust build up it looks alittle bigger but it is about thin as yours..

Ninja , I am not sure of the date of the hoe , but I think you are right on the reason it was under the rocks, it was very common practice to carry the rocks from the field and start a trash pile of rocks which would also end up other trash in it .
